Project Outcome for Academic Libraries / Sara Goek and Dennis Davies-Wilson, coordinator/ moderator (ACRL) Wednesday, 1:00-4:00 in Alvarado C (limit 50) In this interactive workshop, attendees will learn how to use the Project Outcome for Academic Libraries surveys and resources. Project Outcome is a free toolkit that helps libraries measure four key learning outcomes – knowledge, confidence, application, and awareness – across seven library program and service areas. The survey topics cover: Instruction, Events/Programs, Research, Teaching Support, Digital & Special Collections, Space, and Library Technology. Project Outcome provides academic libraries of any size the means to easily measure outcomes in those areas and to use that data as the basis for continuous improvements and advocacy. Prior to the workshop we recommend that participants register for Project Outcome, review basic materials in the toolkit, and consider a goal for outcome measurement at their library. Attendees may wish to bring a laptop or tablet to use during the session.(Academic) Pricing: No charge; Sponsored by the ACRL and arrangements made by NMCAL. MPLA Newsletter 3 August 2019—September 2019 Legal Links and Lessons for All / Dan Cordova and Stephanie Wilson New Mexico Supreme Court Library Wednesday, 1:00-4:00 in Alvarado B We are subject to rule of law, but access to that law is far from equal or universal. The official version of current New Mexico statutes is now born- electronic; official versions of historical New Mexico laws exist only in print. State administrative codes and appellate opinions from the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals are available in various formats, but are not entirely accessible in any one place. Corresponding finding aids are even harder to locate, to say nothing of procedural and analytical guidance. What is a librarian to do when confronted with a legitimate legal research and reference question? In a state as large as ours, with connectivity challenges in rural areas, and increasing costs for legal materials, equal access to justice must be collaborative. Specifically, government law librarians should be cooperating with other public facing librarians to enhance statewide assistance. This program contributes to that conversation. (Academic, Public, School, Special) Pricing: $50 Maximize Your Potential through Community Engagement / Eli Guinnee, Margo Gustina, and Dale Savage (New Mexico State Library) Wednesday, 9:00– 4:00 in Potter’s This hands-on workshop will share tools for engaging with your community and how to turn community conversations into an impactful strategic plan. Turn community engagement tools into useful data you can use to build new capacities and maximize your library’s impact! Plan from potential! Build effective long term partnerships! (Academic, Public, School, Special) Pricing: $75 Bringing Stories to Life: A Storytelling Workshop for Children and Youth Librarians / Deanne Dekle, Bob Kanegis, and Liz Mangual New Mexico State Library Wednesday, 9:00–4:00 in Alvarado A Get ready for Summer Reading 2020, Imagine Your Story, with storytellers Bob and Liz! There is NO one RIGHT way to tell a story. But there may be a right way for YOU to tell a story. Learn how to enliven stories by calling on your unique voice, personality, and life experience. Explore perspectives and techniques that will hone your ‘Story Sensibilities’ and turn what could be dry texts into truly ‘Tellable Tales.‘ We will also demonstrate non-threatening ways to take what you learn so that you can encourage and guide families to create a culture of reading and storytelling at home. Totally interactive workshop with approximately 10% lecture, 25% demonstration, with balance of time spent practicing with feedback, in a fun and supportive environment. Leave with increased confidence in ability to find, craft, and tell stories, and to adapt storytelling skills to support family literacy.

  • Conference Rates Increase Update ULA General Board Meeting, February 23, 2018
    Conference Rates Increase Update ULA General Board Meeting, February 23, 2018 The Utah Library Association (ULA) continues to foster professional relationships across the state by providing opportunities to network and collaborate through roundtable and committee events and our annual conference. These events are largely funded from membership fees and revenue from the annual conference. With varying costs of programming, venues, and conference amenities (e.g., wifi) from year to year, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a budget that draws primarily from conference revenue and not the limited reserves. To facilitate the ongoing financial stability of the ULA, the general board began discussing rate increases at the October and December 2017 meetings. It was generally agreed that one jump now was more favorable than a gradual increase, and increasing one rate was more favorable than increasing both conference rates and membership rates. The president and general board asked a subgroup to research nearby state library conference rates and report back with findings and a proposed conference rate increase. The following provides information about this research and closes with a proposed conference rate increase that would go into effect January 1, 2019. 2014-2018 Review of Space Rental Costs and Overall Profit Year Venue Space Rental Profit 2018 Utah Valley CC $12,000.00 Unknown 2017 South Towne $18,077.57 $9,099.07 2016 Davis Conf. Ctr. $18,700.00 $12,511.60 2015 Dixie Center $11,095.00 $22,438.12 2014 South Towne $15,053.70 $15,465.53 This table above illustrates that aspects of the conference budget, such as space rental, can vary from year to year, as does our overall profit.

  • April 20, 2016 United States Senate
    April 20, 2016 United States Senate Committee on Rules and Administration 305 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Broad Public, Library and Educational Sector Support of Hayden Nomination Dear Chairman Blunt, Ranking Member Schumer and Members of the Committee: We are organizations, societies, alliances and institutes from across the political spectrum. While we may differ in outlook and the matters of policy or legislation on which we focus, we write today with one voice. Specifically, we ask that the Rules Committee rapidly vote to recommend to the full Senate that Dr. Carla Hayden be confirmed immediately to serve as the nation’s fourteenth Librarian of Congress. For the first time in the 21st century, Congress has an opportunity to equip the Library and the nation with the unique combination of professional skills and sensibilities that Dr. Hayden will bring to the post. First and foremost, Dr. Hayden is a proven leader. She was named a Ms. Magazine “Woman of the Year” in 2003 and again, just weeks ago, Fortune magazine numbered her among 50 individuals selected as the “World’s Greatest Leaders.” Fortune’s award citation expressly recognized her ability to bring “fresh leadership” to the venerable Library of Congress. Further, Dr. Hayden is an accomplished manager, particularly of the kind of institutional technological change that the Library of Congress must rapidly prioritize and achieve if it is to fully serve the nation. Indeed, the President & CEO of the Internet Association noted upon her nomination that Dr. Hayden has “exactly the skills needed to modernize the digital infrastruc- ture of the Library of Congress.” We concur.

  • Appendix F Lewis & Clark Library Material Selection and Removal Policy
    Appendix F Lewis & Clark Library Material Selection and Removal Policy Joint ALA Chapter Statement Regarding E-Content Pricing “The American people long ago realized the importance of creating and maintaining a literate and informed citizenry. Publishers, authors, distributors, and literary agencies have long recognized the important role played in our society by our libraries. In the past, they have supported libraries by providing purchasing discounts of printed materials, promoting authors, and working with librarians to increase accessibility and enjoyment of the written word. “In this technological age, libraries must stay responsive to the public and deliver the written word in both electronic and print formats. The Indiana Library Federation, the New Jersey Library Association, and the Montana Library Association are increasingly concerned about the publishers and distributors whose policies withhold e-content from library users. “Libraries, like other consumers, should be free to buy any published e-content at competitive prices, to keep these items in their collection, and to loan them to their patrons. Anything less violates basic democratic principles of a free market, freedom of speech, and equitable access. If financial barriers are removed in libraries, all citizens would have equal access to this material. “The Indiana Library Federation is in agreement with the Montana Library Association, which asks publishers of e-content to place libraries on a level playing field with other consumers of e-content. The cooperative relationship among publishers, authors, distributors, and agents must be restored. “We are aware that the American Library Association is our national voice to advocate for access to content for all members of our society and that the ALA has a Working Group on Digital Content in Libraries examining many of the issues identified above.
